Logo Development
The black and white selection allow for the logo to be recognizable and feel fresh. Additionally, it works great to be easily applied in uniforms and company products, allowing some versatility.
Minimal and timeless, this logo was created with a "less is more" mindset that alludes to the cleaning services offered by the company.
Logo Breakdown
The graphic that accompanies the logo is a hint and reference to the cleaning process the company tackles. Additionally, it hints to speed and projects the efficiency of their services. While minimal, the bold font allows for the logo to portray confidence and professionalism.
ThreadLink’s process
When working with this client we wanted to ensure that we could convey their professionalism, and impeccable service through their visuals.
